Tip of the Day: Essential Filter for Landscapes

If you like to capture nature, there are a few filters which will turn good images into great images. If you were to only have one filter, a circular polarizer would be it. It is a must, especially when you are shooting skies. A good circular polarizer sqweezes all the beautiful colors out of the skies. At the same time, you can use it to turn water from puddle green to beautiful blue, solid black, or soft aqua. It saturates colors, and increases contrast in vegitation as well. Some polarizers are tinted, and turn any scene from beautiful red to sephire blue. These effects are great, and are very easy to apply with a single, extremely useful filter.
